Kellin Playing Soccer

Or maybe I should call this post "Kellin playing in the soccer goal" or "Kellin picking his nose while playing soccer" or maybe "Kellin doesn't really like soccer yet". Kade & I just sat on the sidelines laughing as Kellin played. Notice how far back he runs to kick the ball in! He would run for like three steps and then stop, look around, do some spins, chase his coach, pick his nose, pick a wedgie, etc. The cutest part I thought was Ethan yelling "Go, Go, Go" in the background. For the record, Kellin hasn't been to a practice yet. The first practice we spent driving around in the car for 45 minutes looking for the dang school (how am I supposed to know where the elementary schools are!) and the second practice, which I thought started at six, ended just as we pulled up. I guess I'm not so good at this "soccer mom" thing yet. Oh well, there's always baseball.

Ethan Eating

I think we should enter Ethan in an eating contest...seriously does he even chew it???

Meet Demetri

The newest member of our family is fluffy, fiesty, and...um...fluffy. A couple of months ago my sister, Shelley, asked if we could "adopt" their pet cat since they were moving and couldn't have the cat in their new home. It took a lot of manipulation on my part ("C'mon Kade, the boys would really love a cat"; "We'll do all the work"; "You won't even notice him around") to get Kade to agree to the cat and three weeks ago we brought our new pet home. He is gorgeous, the prettiest cat I've ever seen and so far he has been lots of fun. Kellin chases him around the house constantly but it's Ethan who has actually managed to get a hold of him a couple of times and once Ethan has a grip, he doesn't let go. He's come away with a few handfuls of cat hair!! Kellin loves to hold him & pet him but when Demetri is sitting in this one spot on our couch he doesn't like to be touched. It's really weird. If anyone tries to touch him while he's up there, he attacks!! Kinda freaky. At night Demetri likes to sleep in our bed, which is fine as long as he stays at the foot of the bed. Sometimes he likes to crawl all the way up to the top of the bed and lick our heads while we sleep. Again, kinda weird. Anyways, just thought I post a picture or two of our feline friend.

Jack Johnson Concert

for Kade's birthday this year I got him tickets to the Jack Johnson concert - we had a great time! Kade has been a big fan of his for a while and I have really come to like his music a lot as well. He did a great job, one of the few concerts I have been to where I can say that he sounded just as good in concert as on his CD's, if not better. We had a lot of fun with our friends who also had tickets, Tyler, Angela, Keith & Nate. Love you guys!
